Well, it's that time of the year - slinging up lights everywhere that will support them, family members hanging ornaments everywhere else, a spicy drink and a seasonal snack, and some low-offense festive music - non-denominational holiday season greetings to you all.
As is customary around these parts, next Sunday will be our annual #FestiveVortex, for which we require one or two of your favourite new releases of 2024. You can pop them in the dropbox here, and @kleptones will fry them up into a fine bubble'n'squeak for playback next Sunday.
"I briefly thought about picking something festive for tonight, almost exactly six months after my last pick ... but nah. This album is one that's been on my increasingly-misnamed 'short list' for quite some time. Earlier this year I was reminded that it's actually a round number anniversary for it, so this might as well be the year in which I post it. Some of you are likely to recognise it from the off, but I'll be interested to know how many, especially of our non-UK contingent. This was admittedly, their big break album and included what might be considered their breakout single, so may have travelled further than other works. Hopefully those who haven't encountered it before appreciate it.
Warning, contains some swearing (from pretty much out of the gate), if you're playing this in a public space (or have small folk nearby). Also contains some complex percussion rhythms (as, it seems, do quite a few of my picks).
Drinking club:
Either some warm lager in a flimsy plastic cup that'll be jostled out of your hand the moment the band starts up, or a whole bottle of vodka, which was something one of the members was going through every day early in the band's career."
Right then - download's here, stream's below:
See you 20:00 GMT tonight.
